I’m wondering if there is a recommendation for a small camera to take hiking, or just for general convenience. I like to turn my phone off when I’m out so I can properly disconnect, plus I’m winding down my phone dependency in general.
Something to point and shoot would be nice, but I’m potentially interested in learning a bit about using some actual camera techniques.

Point and shoot? Fuji X100 series. Otherwise, I’m not qualified for this one due to carrying a 5D MkIII and several lenses 10-20km into the wilderness.
